Former and Converted Schools
From the early 1960s to the early 1990s, the Bridgewater-Raritan district had two high schools, known as "East" and "West." The current unified high school is on the "West" site, and the former "East" building is now the Middle School.
Schools that have been closed since the 1980s include:
- Valley School (now the Harmon V. Wade Administration Building, school district headquarters)
- Finderne School (now the Peoplecare Center for non-profit community services)
- Green Knoll School (now part of the Bridgewater Township Municipal Building complex)
- Martinsville School (now occupied by private offices)
- Washington Middle School in Raritan (converted to Somerset County offices)
Adamsville School, now an elementary school, was a middle school until the 1980s. Eisenhower and Hillside Schools, now intermediate schools, were both middle schools until 1995.

Famous quotes containing the words converted and/or schools:
“Of all things in life, Mrs. Lee held this kind of court-service in contempt, for she was something more than republican—a little communistic at heart, and her only serious complaint of the President and his wife was that they undertook to have a court and to ape monarchy. She had no notion of admitting social superiority in any one, President or Prince, and to be suddenly converted into a lady-in-waiting to a small German Grand-Duchess, was a terrible blow.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“I lay my eternal curse on whomsoever shall now or at any time hereafter make schoolbooks of my works and make me hated as Shakespeare is hated. My plays were not designed as instruments of torture. All the schools that lust after them get this answer, and will never get any other.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
